BMW 325 Ci E46 2001 - Vanos / Chain timing, codes 104 &106 - Fixed #

Posted by Glen Strachan on June 23, 2009, 11:27 am

Year of Manufacture *: 2000
Engine Code or Type *: 25 6s 5
( Optional ) Scanner used: KTS

This has just come into us with a p0015 fault code, on KTS it shows up as 104 Outlet camshaft displacement not in range and 106 outlet camshaft displacement stop not reached.
No unusual rattles from chain or vanos and scope test shows cam sensor working OK. Actual values show exhaust cam at -15 degrees CA and it should be around +15 i believe.
At first I suspect the vanos actuator , but have just found out it has recently had the head off at another garage so I'm inclined to feel the timing may be out.

Having never played with the chains on these, can anyone offer any pearls of wisdom that may assist ?

Pearl of wisdom !!, find out who took the head off, ask if they have all the special tools to do the job and also if they also have the tech.data on Vanos set-up.
If they don,t i would suspect in-correct timing.

Chain timing was out . Put that straight but still no operation on vvt , so vanos replaced.
Could the timing being out cause the vanos to fail ?
